(I was high school age so can't 100% confirm or deny that...) Ok, 36 hours then. Point being, pasta used to be acceptable pregame fare for athletes.

July 20, 20222 yr comment_579987 RF.com thinks Spitty McEyegouge-Helmet-thrower is getting a heavy handed punishment 😂 ”What about the punch?” that tough guy Duke went down easy from and immediately looked at the ref for in true soccer style. Getting slapped is the same as a helmet thrown at your face. Just 4 functioning brain cells in that whole Province.

July 20, 20222 yr comment_579992 They have a practice roster, right? No excuse to postpone the game. Utilize that if you need. Hydrate, take your multi vitamins, eat right, blow your nose when you need to and carry on with the show.

July 20, 20222 yr comment_579998 Yeah that's a pathetic reason to postpone...that's why u have a PR....utilize it...just an excuse...after a compliant...over by and over...buck up and be a professional franchise Just now, Geebrr said: This franchise is just fail after fail after fail. Didn’t we just beat the piss out of BC on the road with one day of practice? 😂 Yup...and then same with t.o...then CGy..one real practice basically between each of those games over 12 days...Riders always complaining and looking for an excuse
July 20, 20222 yr comment_579999 The Riders should get the same schedule accommodation Edmonton got last year. On the coach’s show this week somebody asked MOS about the crazy stretch that we are in and his thoughts. MOS said that the schedule was perfect and they love it. Winners vs all time worst always losers

I know, I played on his team. That guy would have been ridiculous if he had trained, ate right, not smoked. What does what Dale Hawerchuk smoking & beer drinking have to do with what players from the Bombers did to prepare for the season? Two different sports. In 1984, players in the CFL didn't show up to training camp 30 lbs overweight.

Two different sports. In 1984, players in the CFL didn't show up to training camp 30 lbs overweight. Were you there? My point is that in leagues like the CFL and even the NHL, up until the early 80's, there wasn't a ton of onus put on physical conditioning like there is now. I am sure that 30lbs overweight coming into camp is an overstatement, but it was literally nothing to see athletes like Dale Hawerchuk, Phil Housley, or Thomas Steen ducking out of the dressing room between periods to go have a smoke down the tunnel. Blink Roberts would be an example of the same in the CFL. I'm sure the hoggies still eat as many burgers and beers now as back in the 80's, but I doubt any other position group is even remotely in the same conditioning then as they are now.
July 21, 20222 yr comment_580049 We're trusting this franchise to put on the GC this year? What a shitshow disaster this is going to be. At least there are so few rooms in Regina that very few out-of-towners will be there. Still not certain why Duke was allowed to play on Saturday? The whiniest fanbase gets all the breaks and still cry.

My point was that in that era professional athletes could live a different lifestyle and still have success compared to now. The example transcends what sport I am using to illustrate my point. There are numerous examples in every professional sport in that era, including the CFL, where players were routinely out of shape until TC, smoked, ate badly, did little to no physical training. That could never happen in any pro league now, you wouldn't make it out of day 1 training camp.

I would hope the league will make sure this "outbreak" is real as the timing is very convenient with the RIders QB being a lame duck right now.
